Introduction

In this tutorial, we will explore the select tool and ways to zoom, rotate, duplicate, and transform an image and a drawing.

First we will take a look at the select tool. As we have seen in previous tutorials, the select tool allows you to move objects. You can also use the select tool to freely rotate and resize items.

Zoom and Rotate

Zoom

  1. Select an image from your camera roll. Camera-roll.png Drag the image to the wallpaper.

    You will see two additional rectangles. This shows you that you can start rotating your object.
  2. You can resize it as well by pushing your fingers inward and outward, up or down.


Duplicate

In order to duplicate an image, press the duplicate icon. Duplicate app.png
This will create a copy of your image or drawing. The copied image will be automatically selected.

Transform

In this section, we will look at how to flip an image. This gives you the ability to flip an image in horizontally or vertically.

  2. Press flip horizontal icon. Flip-Horizontal app.png This will flips the image horizontally.
  3. Press flip vertical icon. Flip-vertical app.png This flips the image vertically.
